Man gets jail, caning for raping girl previously in his care at children's home

did you even read the article? The girl consented throughout. But as you can see, according to the law, underage sex with full consent by both parties is still equals to rape. If you were to ask me, there's a clear diff between forecful sexual abuse of children and 'sexual abuse' in the sense that you may intepret it as either as consent or as manipulation.

nevertheless this statement should say enough

The victim was assessed by a doctor from the Child Guidance Clinic, who found that she had been feeling sad, quiet and withdrawn since the accused's arrest.

However, she could focus in class, performed reasonably well in examinations and did not exhibit any symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
